Incremental validity of the Test of Practical Judgment
Our results suggest that including the TOP-J within neuropsychological evaluations of older adults can enhance diagnostic accuracy and provide clinically valuable information beyond what is derived from traditional executive functioning tests. Considering potential adverse impacts of impaired judgement abilities in the context of neurodegenerative disease, it is of utmost importance to improve the detection of diminished practical judgment skills to increase the protection of vulnerable populations and to prevent potential financial, social, and other areas of exploitation that may occur.
